Manta Makes offers wedding decor, personalised items and keepsakes for all the family made from wood. They also offer custom designs.

The company is called Manta Makes because Samantha and her partner visited Hawaii in 2013 to swim with Manta Rays. Almost like stingrays these beautiful creatures ‘dance’ in the water. They were lucky enough to swim with a Manta Ray ‘Clara’ – named by the local divers. The couple always wanted to have their own business and knew what they wanted to make, but just couldn’t decide on a name. After the birth of their daughter in 2014, they researched their business idea further and reminisced on their holiday to Hawaii and the name just came together – ‘Manta Makes’.
